Biomechanics Spring Valley Chiropractic doctors use Functional Movement Assessments and Gait analysis to identify faulty movement patterns resulting from muscle imbalances, muscle or joint restrictions, or muscle weakness. Faulty movement patterns can result in pain, decreased performance, and overuse syndromes. Quite frequently, altered mechanics may not be evident during normal activities, but will become symptomatic during athletic activity as the muscle or soft-tissue begins to fatigue placing the body into a biomechanically incorrect position. Utilizing these assessment tools provides a visual indicator as to the source of a problem or a potential problem. |
